Aee dividend notice of the Jackson Banking Company. By the way, our bank is now a state depository and we don’t mean to bray a bit, when we say it is as solid an institution as there is in Georgia. The firm of Davis & Bowdoin seems not to be running in the most harmo nious manner. They agreed to disagree very considerably one day this week, and now they are waiting on each other to do something, so as the other one may know what to do. Did you ever go into a man’s place of business that does not advertise? Well, it’s somewhat like entering a cemetery about 12 o’clock at night, dark, lone some, gloomy and “skeery.” The spi- ders like him very much as a partner in business. They can weave their webs from one bolt of calico to another with out molestation. Go to L. R. Cason’s for Shoes, Hats, Gloves, Hosiery Corsetts, and Millinery, in fact, everything you want. Dr. G. W. Gardner, the new pastor of the Jackson Baptist church, preached his first sermon on Sunday last to a large and appreciative congregation, who were well pleased with the disoourse. Dr. Gardner is a fine speaker, a poiished scholar and is peculiarly gifted as a pas tor and we look for fine results to How from his works in Jackson. It is a fact very remarkable that Col. McKibben has had several acci dents happen .to him in the last 30 years and in every instance they have struck him on the left side. He was shot in the leftside daring the war, has had his left arm broken, hia left collar bone has been dislocated, he has had slight touches of rheumatism in his left side, and during the fire which consumed Mr. Harp's building a scantling fell, striking him on the left shoulder.

Thornton & Hooten give some of the best bargains the world ever saw in the way of horses and mules, Yeu should see them befoie you buy a horse, mule, or buggy. We knew the merchants of Jackson would not lay dormant long, as our city is of too much push and progress to con tain a set of dead men pretending to do business, Cast your eye over the col umns of the Argus and trade with those who advertise. Th® New York store is as much responsi ble for the present proud commercial fame of Jackson as any other agency within our city. Mr. J. H. Carmichael, the present manager of the Carmichael company, and occupants of the A T ew York is one of the leading business men of the state. Therefore, you may never be surprised to find his company leading the way to great er and still greater accomplishments. This firm has no superior in this city or in our state- That enterprising hustler, Mr. John R. Carmichael, is sending out his pros pectus for 1804. He is going to do his share of the business in the buggy and guano line this year, and you can bet your stamps that when he sells a man once he always comes back for another “dose.” Mr. Carmichael knows exactly how- a business should be conducted to please his patroes, and does net hold back on using “printers ink,” which is an attribute to success in any profes sion. Trie city fathers for the year are as follows: E E Pound, mavor; T J Lane, may or protein; M M Mills, clerk and treasurer; J L Lyons, T R and C; J M ITolifield, marshal, Marshall Mayo, deputy.

Harkness, who is now an octogenarian and one to spare, from the pure goodness of his soul on Wednes day morning called on his two children and eight grandchildren, and gave them SSOO each, saying that he wanted his money to do good while he was living. This is the kind of philanthropy our country needs. 17 CARS OF MERCHANDISE. This may seem a little preposterous to the doubting public, but the Star Store has them. Yes, sir; Jackson has a firm in the person of the Jackson Mercantile Company, that does nothing by halves; they order their staple goods in car lots, and do business on metropolitan princi ples Verily Jackson will soon be a young Atlanta. See their ad. in this issue. WIDOWS PENSIONS. Judge Carmichael has received blanks for the pension applicants to fill, and all should look after this matter.

We call special attention to our clubbing arrangement w ith the great southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti tution, which enables us to offer both papers for the remarkably low sum of $1.25 a year. The first duty of every good citizen is to patronize his home paper. He wishes to become thor oughly conversant with his county matters, and only through bis home paper can he expect to be supplied with the current county news, which is ot the closest interest to him. After he has provided himself with his home paper his next consideration of those who are not within easy reach of a first-class daily newspaper should be to select a first-class weekly newspaper supplying all the general news ot the world, and paying special attention to features which are of par ticular interest to the household and the farm. Just such a paper is The Weekly Constitution, published at Atlanta, Ga., and having a circulation of 156,000 copies a week, the largest of any weekly newspaper published in America. It is essentially a farmer’s paper and stands at the head of the weekly press of this country. Its agricultural department alone is worth the subscription price of the paper, while it numbers among its contributors such well known names as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunkett, Bill Arp, and a host of others, whose rep utations are world wide. Its women anu childi en’s departments are pre pared with a special view to please the little folks and the women, and its news columns literally cover the face of the earth. We aie enabled to offer both papers at practically the price of one, and we will take great pleasure in forwarding to The Constitution any names sent us in connection with our clubbing offer at the remarkably low price above given. SSO TO $75 FOR $25. This May <sound Odd, but it is Neverthe less a True. In this eminently progressive age, the education of no young maD, no matter what his intended avocation, can be regar ded as fully qualifying hjm for success unless he possesses a business training. Where to get that of the most practical character most quickly and cheaply is the question. This paper ventures nething in saying that investigation will prove the (7a.—Ala. Bnsiness College of Macon, Ga. to be the very institution. Many young men in six to ten weeks, at an expense of from S2O to S3O, have recently finished bookkeeping, telegraphy or shorthand there, and, in spite of the ahrd times, immediately stepped into positions paying from SSO to $75 per month. .There is usually a ‘disposition to wait and begin with the Aew Fear; but if a business education is of any value at all, the quicker it is gotten, the more valuable it is, and by writing to the principals, Messrs. Wyatt & Martin, Macon, Ga., at once, much better terms can be had than by waiting until later on. Placed si graduates last week.
